Dr. Hossam Gaber, Professor, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, will be among several speakers at the Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) happening Wednesday, August 16 to Monday, October 2.

attendees will learn about recently completed transit related research and innovation projects, sponsored by the Government of Ontario’s $10 million fund as part of its Climate Change Strategy. The goal of this partnership with the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade was to help move the province to the forefront of public transit research and development, supporting CUTRIC’s founding mission to spur innovation and economic growth through the creation of low-carbon and smart-mobility ecosystems. 

Discover the future of transportation and delve into groundbreaking projects that will revolutionize the industry.

Some of the CUTRIC attendees will learn about include:

• Battery-electric bus and grid-side energy storage
• Design and simulation of fast-charging and hybrid energy
• E-powertrain optimization
• Fuel cell technologies and performance innovations
• Hydrogen optimization for transit
• Solar solutions for transit and fleet operations
• Automated driving, infrastructure and sensor development
• AI and deep-learning data transfer in smart vehicles
• Intelligent transportation systems innovations for smart cities
• Transit signal priority in autonomous and connected transit vehicle environments
• Cybersecurity implications in electric vehicle fleets and battery exchange infrastructure
• Intrusion detection in autonomous and connected vehicles

Dr. Gaber will present and speak about an Â鶹´«Ã½ University project on the Design of Fast-Charging Stations for Transportation Electrification.
